Estate Planning

With wealth comes the responsibility to manage it. Estate planning involves preserving and transferring wealth while avoiding probate. At the most basic level, your estate plan should include a Will and Trust to ensure your wealth is transferred according to your wishes. Beyond this, we use advanced strategies to distribute wealth during your lifetime at reduced tax costs. We'll help you and your heirs benefit from the tax advantages of a well-developed estate plan. We also represent our clients in estate administration, probate proceedings and estate litigation.
